Additional Information
Statement
Reference

ScerGAL4GSG8302-2 drives primarily mifepristone-inducible glial expression. Strong expression is observed in CNS glia, including surface glia and channel glia, in PNS glia including peripheral perineurial cells of peripheral nerves, and in chordotonal organ sheath cells. There is moderate uninduced expression in CNS glia.
